Find properties. Make your drive count.
Buying a property starts with finding an opportunity. Then you need to understand its condition, estimate the repairs, and decide whether the numbers work. See how Deal Radar, Driving 4 Deals, Scout, EstiMate, and Apex Vivus work as one to streamline the entire process—from finding potential deals to making an informed offer—with each step building on what you already know about the property.
This walkthrough follows the route you drive yourself. Prefer to send someone? See the Scout workflow.

Find the houses
Deal Radar finds the owners most likely to sell, and tells you why. Here it starts your afternoon with a list of houses worth driving past; the sample house scores 76.
- Every score shows its reasons, and the points each one added.
- Fresh counts for more. A filing from last week weighs more than one from last spring.
- The score drops when the chance does: a foreclosure cured, an auction cancelled, the house sold.

Price the repairs
EstiMate takes your photos and pulls the repair line items out of them: every repair it can see, measured and priced at your rates, down to the permits, dumpsters and consumables.

Photos in. A priced scope out.
EstiMate reads photos and writes the scope of work. Point the camera at a room and it names the work it can see, from cabinets and counters to drywall and paint, measures it, and puts a quantity and a cost on every line at your prices. Pat Lee’s house was priced the same way, and so is any room you photograph yourself.
Every line item. Every consumable. Every permit. Every dumpster load.
This is the scope view. Every line is measured from your photos and priced from your price list, with the consumables, permits and dumpsters added automatically. The dark notes say what each mark means.
Or sit down and take it apart.
Everything the phone does, the desktop does, and the walkthrough is already open. Change a price, swap a finish level, split a room out, run the same house as a flip and as a rental side by side. When a lender, a seller or a client questions the number, show them the line it came from.
Use one. Or all five.
Each one is its own product, built to be the best at one job. Together, each picks up the house where the last one left it.
UsuallyA list pulled once, filtered on the boxes you ticked, in no particular order.
Deal RadarRe-reads the records every night, then scores and ranks every house it finds, with the reasons.
- Pre-foreclosures, auctions, tax delinquency, liens, vacant houses, expired listings
- Every score lists its reasons and the points each one added
- Fresh signals count for more, and several kinds on one house count for more than one
- The score drops when a foreclosure is cured, an auction is cancelled or the house sells
UsuallyA loop around the neighborhood, then a night of looking up owners.
